Product is the fourth studio album by the British jazz fusion group Brand X, originally released in 1979. Recorded simultaneously with its follow-up album Do They Hurt?, Product features Phil Collins back on drums following his absence on Masques, while co-founding keyboardist Robin Lumley returned to being a full member, having been a non-performing producer on Masques. Drummer Mike Clark and bassist John Giblin also appear on this album. Two of the album's tracks - "Soho" and "Wal to Wal" - were largely recorded at Phil Collins' Old Croft home in Shalford, Surrey. The album's first CD release in 1989 featured a different running order to the original LP.
